Thursday was really hot
Jun. 5th, 2025 07:45 pmIt got up into the 90s. It was already really hot by the time I dropped A. at school for her 11:30 homework cafe.
I had a visit with M. in the afternoon, but it was too hot to walk. We talked about it, and then in the evening we walked at 7 pm. Still mid 80s, but shady and not too many bugs yet. Pleasant, and will happily do again. Lots of people out with the same idea.
Guinness glasses went out today! Very exciting. R. brought down a charging kit from Kanga Room, from some time around 2007. We’d even put an appropriate size power strip in it. He had no recollection of using it; I thought we’d moved it along a decade or more ago. We switched to Anker charging blogs when things stabilized on USB-A; the kanga setup was needed when there were still a lot of proprietary things out there, and we had a lot of devices. Weird to remember when the kids were preschool age, and each had their own iPad, and I had one too, and R. and I both had phones but mine wasn’t even an iPhone yet. Things change.
I’ve got people who are interested in the drafting board, the flashlights and the kanga thingie, but I’ve been ghosted so many times who knows what will happen. But things will probably keep leaving the house slowly. I spent a few minutes on reddit, found a home organization group, and one of the posts was a photo of a kitchen that someone had sharpied up what was going to go into each drawer and cabinet and asking for suggestions. I had zero interest in the details, but I pulled up N.R.’s document for my future kitchen and started marking it up. Always challenging figuring out where the flatware goes!
